Coquitlam Teachers’ Association (CTA) was incorporated as a society under the Societies Act on May 23, 1973. Since that time the membership has grown steadily to more than 2600 teachers; making the CTA the third largest BCTF local in the province. The history of the organization illustrates its effectiveness in working for the rights of teachers and students in promoting public education.

Ignite43: Possibility
We are hosting another inspiring Ignite43 event on May 16th at the Old Mill Boathouse in Port Moody. We have 10+ presenters joining us to share their stories, favourite lessons, and teachable moments around a theme of Possibility.
What is an Ignite?
“Ignite” is a PD evening hosted at a local venue with amazing presenters, lively conversation, and great food. Presenters are given 5 minutes to present their idea, with 20 slides rotating automatically every 15 seconds. The intention is to spark or “ignite” an idea and allow time to discuss and share ideas between presentations.
What do we mean by “Possibility”
Consider your practice through this lens: how do you find or inspire possibilities in our learning community? What have you learned on your personal journey through the possibilities in your life? What possibilities have your students amazed you with? If these questions just ignited a spark, please consider sharing it with us at Ignite43!
If you have questions about the event please contact Bree Weir.
